Commercial Roofing Systems

The Right System for Every Building

Commercial roofing in Brooklyn overwhelmingly means flat roofing. The right flat roof system depends on building size, use, budget, and energy goals. MLM Construction Group installs all major commercial flat roofing systems and helps you choose the best fit for your property.

🌟

TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)

The most popular commercial roofing system in NYC today. White TPO membrane reflects sunlight, reducing cooling costs by up to 20%. Heat welded seams are stronger than the membrane itself. Excellent resistance to punctures, tears, and UV degradation. Ideal for energy efficient buildings.

Best for: Apartment buildings, retail, schools, warehouses
⚫

EPDM (Rubber Roofing)

Ethylene propylene diene monomer: the industry workhorse for over 50 years. EPDM is highly durable, flexible in extreme cold, and resistant to ozone and UV. Available in black and white. Extremely cheaper with a 20 to 30 year lifespan. The go to choice for budget conscious building owners.

Best for: Multi family residential, smaller commercial buildings
🔥

Modified Bitumen

Torch applied or cold applied asphalt based systems with polyester or fiberglass reinforcement. Excellent performance in high traffic areas and on roofs with heavy mechanical equipment. Two-ply systems provide redundant protection. Proven technology with a strong track record in Brooklyn's climate.

Best for: Industrial, high traffic roofs, buildings with HVAC equipment
🔲

BUR (Built-Up Roofing)

Multiple layers of roofing felt and hot asphalt (tar), topped with gravel ballast. The original commercial flat roofing system: proven on thousands of Brooklyn buildings. Excellent for reroofing over existing BUR systems. Heavy and extremely durable when properly installed.

Best for: Replacing existing BUR systems, older commercial buildings
💧

Liquid-Applied Coatings

Seamless silicone or acrylic coatings applied directly over existing roofs. No tear-off required: applied over existing membrane. Restores 5 to 15 years of life at a fraction of replacement cost. Excellent for roofs that are structurally sound but have surface deterioration or failing seams.

Best for: Roof restoration where full replacement isn't yet needed
🏗️

Roof Inspections & Maintenance

Annual roof maintenance contracts for building owners and property managers. We inspect, document condition, repair minor issues before they become major ones, clear drains, and provide written reports. Proactive maintenance extends roof life by years and prevents emergency repairs.

Best for: Property managers, building portfolios, NYC Local Law compliance

Commercial Roofing Questions

Commercial Flat Roof Questions

What roofing systems do you install on commercial buildings in Brooklyn? +
TPO, EPDM rubber and modified bitumen, plus liquid applied systems where a tear off is not practical. We are Firestone and GAF certified, which matters on a commercial roof because the manufacturer warranty is only valid when a certified contractor installs it. We recommend the system based on your roof traffic, drainage and how long you plan to hold the building.
How much does a commercial flat roof cost in Brooklyn? +
Installed cost generally runs $9 to $18 per square foot depending on the system, the insulation thickness and the roof access. A tear off adds roughly $2 to $4 per square foot. Buildings with heavy mechanical equipment, multiple penetrations or no roof hatch sit at the high end. Every estimate we send is itemized by line.
Can you work around our business hours? +
Yes. On occupied commercial buildings we schedule noisy tear off and fastening outside your operating hours and stage the work so no section is ever left open overnight. We also coordinate with building management on elevator use, dumpster placement and roof access in advance rather than on the morning of day one.
Do you carry the insurance our building management requires? +
We are fully insured and licensed under NYC DCWP Home Improvement Contractor license #2130570. We issue a certificate of insurance naming your building entity and managing agent as additional insured before work starts. Send us the exact insurance requirements from your lease or management company and we will match them.
How long does a commercial roof last? +
TPO gives 20 to 25 years, EPDM 20 to 30, and modified bitumen 15 to 20. Those numbers assume the drains stay clear and the roof is inspected twice a year. The roofs we see fail early almost always failed at a penetration or a drain, not in the field of the membrane, which is why we offer a maintenance plan on every commercial install.
Is there a commercial roofing contractor near me in Brooklyn? +
MLM Construction Group works on commercial flat roofs across Brooklyn and the surrounding boroughs, in TPO, EPDM and PVC. We schedule around occupancy and provide written scope and pricing before anything starts. Call (516) 713-9199.
